anyone know of any sites with a wheel selector on them ? preferably with as many manufacturers as poss, i WILL definately be changing my rims soon and have seen a few questionable choices from other owners (not on here btw!) so would be nice to see how they look before shelling out my hard earned

Heres a couple of sites

http://www.auto-extreme.com/eng/wheelwizardhttp://www.auto-extreme.com/eng/wheelwizard - alloys are a bit dated tho, but u can slam ur car to the max

http://www.truggy.fslife.co.uk/wheels.htmhttp://www.truggy.fslife.co.uk/wheels.htm - Clio wheel selecter bit crap as well

Heres a link to my rims that i have in 17s they are League LG065s, heared they are quite rare got them from motorworld for about £850 with avon tyres, bargain

paul172 - is that your car with the OZ Titans on it? Looks very nice! What offset are the alloys?

 

[RobFenn]

They are TSW Reflexs ASFAIK

 

[JJ172]

Sorry, my mistake! Well spotted that man!

 

[RobFenn]

 

[paul172 .]

Yep they are tsw reflex et40

 

[JJ172]

paul172 - any problems with clearance or handling as a result of running the 17s with a different offset (std 172 wheels being ET48.5)

 

[RobFenn]

I thought it was et38?

 

[JJ172]

As read off from the under the centre cap of my Mk2 172 std alloys 7x16 ET48.5

 

[paul172 .]

JJ172 No problems at all with the 17s dosnt feel any different when driving holds the rd alot better with the suspension setup and had the rear arches rolled just incase.

 

[JJ172]

Thanks paul172!

Who rolled your rear arches? And for how much? Does it affect the bodywork warranty at all?

 

[paul172 .]

JJ172 I got the arches rolled at Revolution in Gateshead, and it was £25 all together for the 2 rear arches. and it dosnt affect the body warranty.

where abouts are you?
